<div><p>Frances Habeck was just trying to do something nice. And it ended up getting her suspended from school. </p><p>Habeck was suspended after a teacher found her selling 'sex toys' to other students at the school. There's just one problem...they weren't sex toys at all. </p><p>The 12-year-old girl had heard that water-filled bag toys help children with autism, so she was trying to sell them at school to raise money for autism support. </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/4sextoy-685x268.png" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/4sextoy-685x268_GH_content_550px.png 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/4sextoy-685x268_GH_content_650px.png 650w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Amazon</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>Habeck says she got clearance from a teacher to sell the toys, but when the principal found out, things got messy.
